Communism is a threat to Capitalism, and Florida is where all the Cuban Capitalists went. America is a capitalist state and is therefore intent of preventing Cuba from becoming an example for others to follow. Hence the trade embargoes.

The US and Cuba have a love-hate relationship. The republicans secretly LOVE Castro, because if it wasn't for the exiled Cuban population in Florida the current president wouldn't have been able to steal the 2000 election so easily.

Well, the main thing is that all the corporations and the rich people know that socialism means that they lose their money and power and social status, so they manipulate the media to propagandize the American people and manufacture consent for the American govt to wage war, assassinate, manipulate, exploit, etc, all in the interests of wiping out communism.
